A breakdown of the Falkland’s war and its conclusion
I remember the Falklands war vividly. I was 19 when it happened. The coverage was superb back then, no censored footage etc. i also collected a binder of the day by day engagements etc. Back then of course there’s no internet, no mobiles etc. just News TV, Newspapers and Radio. So what you see and read is what you get.
So finding material today is really an eye-opener and this is a Cracking breakdown of loses, platform malfunctions and what ‘if’s’[www.airuniversity.af.edu] read it and enjoy

Yet, it still has not be done faithfully in a game like Sea Power except for mods. I would love to play scenarios based on this conflict.

We need 2 Vulcan’s and 11 Handley Page Victor bombers (converted for refuelling) for the bombing run on Port Stanley Airfield as well as the radar installations. Don’t forget that ;)
The longest bombing raid in history at the time of around 7,200 miles round trip.
The Falklands is almost a games in itself.

Good source of weaponry used all round in the conflict[en.m.wikipedia.org]

CMO literally has a whole DLC related to the conflict...

The irony is the type 42s were impotent other than the GPMGs.
It was more an air and ground conflict so it negates naval per se

There are a number of community-built scenarios also. My favorite is the alternate history one where the Argentinian CV actually spends just an hour longer than history says searching for the UK fleet. You end up with a cool carrier battle.

I'm also sure they did a scenario on the Black Buck op thats relatively faithful to the endurance. Not really much fun to play, but interesting.
